- Summary:
-
To accomplish the objectives of the Rural Education, Disadvantaged Youth research project, referred to as Project REDY, the research staff members first attempted to develop a close working relationship with selected disadvantaged rural families through family interviews. Immediately following each interview, the interviewers tape recorded their impressions and observations of the home surroundings, family characteristics, conditions of the residence, family morale and adjustment, and family opinions regarding the community and education. These observations and those of local coordinators comprised the first section of this report. For the formal research, reported in the second section, 1 depressed rural county in Illinois was chosen and 2 random samples were drawn: 1 of all families in the area and 1 of the severely disadvantaged families. The 4 dimensions studied were economic, psychological, sociological, and anthropological. Also in the second section were (1) a summary of the characteristics of severely disadvantaged families residing in a selected depressed rural area; (2) an overview of the development of the model vocationally oriented, family-centered educational program, which was a major project objective; (3) a discussion of findings and conclusions pertaining to the evaluation of the REDY Educational Program; and (4) a statement of implications and recommendations.
